Defensive Depth Diminishing e Stuff
(Fabio says hi to Abidal)
Barzagli Down & Out
When Donadoni released his squad list with only 7 defenders, I simply thought “alright, whatever”. When Canna went down and Gamberini was forced into the fold I thought “Shit, calling up 7 defenders, 5 of whom are into the Geritol stage of their careers wasn’t too brilliant, was [...]
Grazie Italia! Bring On Spain!
Azzurri – Les Bleus…Again
Let’s get one thing straight. This is not a “rematch”. Rematches that matter only happen on equal planes. Euro games, and Euro qualifying games for that matter, are still leagues and leagues away from the World Cup Final. This is quite different.

5 Things we learned from the Dutch Debacle
Lowlight! Lowlights! Get Your Lowlights Right here!
# 1 Roberto Donadoni can’t fill Marcello Lippi’s shoes:
Well, it isn’t really a new thing, but the last time Italy played Holland the score wasn’t exactly the same. The thing that frustrates me the most is the DumbDon’s all around stubbornness is costing Italy some points. I won’t [...]
